Re: [lojban] Michael Everson, What Do You Want From Us?



Matt, aside from this conversation we've been having with Michael, what is stopping the LLG from publishing it's own works?  With so few works published already I would probably buy just about anything that DID get published.  What is stopping the LLG from publishing la .alis, lo nu binxo, la nicte cadzu (once it's finished), etc...?

Plus one.  This is really obnoxious, as Michael seems content to do whatever he is going to do anyway, which some will like and some won't; I fail to see how 100s of emails about it does anything but annoy.

I do think there is room for discussion about how/if to use quotation marks and the like, but Michael seems to not want to participate in this, and I think any discussion about such issues should be divorced from this one publication.

Every once in a while, someone discovers Lojban and comes on the list
to tell us how much they don't like it. But we can't do language
reform at so deep a level, even if we wanted to, so those
conversations are, to me, pointless and uninteresting.

This seems like another case of it. We lack the power to stop you
publishing your book, so what has me confused is, why don't you? What
are you trying to achieve here? Do you want or need something from us?
Does it just give you some kind of gratification to apply a lot of
negative adjectives to Lojban? Or what?

I've trawled through more of this endless discussion than I should
have. I am bored now. I don't want to read any more, so your reply is
probably the last email I will read on this topic. Make it concise.
